Put your phone down, take life in. Repeat. ~
Living in the present, disconnecting from the hassle, away from distractions.
Simply witnessing beauty. Engaging with the world, getting lost in it. To the point that nothing else but NOW matters.

Did you know that the first enemy of happiness is the adaptation? The new thinks are exciting to us at first, but we adapt to them and get bored quickly 🤷🏻‍♀️The trips we take, new experiences, and new skills we lear are real treasures. Our experiences create our history, differentiate us from others and became part of ourselves. They simply make us who we are.

Morocco, the birth country of my mother, rich in culture and traditions. I will highlight one contribution to humanity without which I may have never been born. In 1940 Morocco transitioned to rule by the collaborative (with Nazis) French Vichy government. The Sultan, Mohammed V, at the time refused to persecute as instructed the 250,000 Jews that lived in Morocco, many for centuries, like my family which crossed the Gibraltar strait around 1390 one hundred years before the peak of Spanish Inquisition. By the way this is why there is a restaurant called the Benevolent King in Maplewood. Centuries later, on my first and only so far visit, when I was 15, I met the grandson of that Sultan. That grandson is now King Mohammed VI. #morroco#world#oneworld#contribution#humanity#saved#sultan#mohammedv#kingmohammedvi#family#sépharades#peace#love
